Memorials Podunajská nížina

Would you like to experience a realistic trip into the past? We recommend visiting the village of Veľké Lovce in the Nové Zámky district. The period homestead, Dom ľudového bývania Veľké Lovce, will reliably draw you into the life, housing, and work of our ancestors in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The small private museum is simultaneously proof of the skill and ingenuity of its owner, who renovated it with respect for cultural heritage and made it accessible to the public. Although the folk housing house regularly becomes the center of cultural events organized by the village, its owner and operator continues to be Mr. Galbavý. You can also arrange a tour of this charming homestead with him by phone.

The folk housing house presents a 57-meter-long farmhouse dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, it is assumed that the first walls of the house were built back in 1794. The original structure consists of unburnt sun-dried brick and clay. During the sensitive renovation, the owner consistently preserved both the period architecture and natural materials. This created a truly charming monument, a house with a unique atmosphere that currently serves as the seat of a small private museum. Part of the homestead is also a farmyard, pigsties, a chaff storage room, a stable, a barn, a cellar, an apiary, or a wattle sheep pen.

In the interior of the house, besides individual rooms and the kitchen with an open chimney, you can also view traditional furnishings, items of daily use, decorations, or working tools. You will find original kerosene lamps, old ceramics, beautiful folk embroideries, and a rare wooden chest from 1908. If you are lucky, you will catch one of the village's cultural events, for which the spaces of the clay structure become the venue. Carnival celebrations, traditional home pig slaughters, Easter markets, grape harvest festivals, or folklore celebrations regularly take place here. The property currently also includes a stage and a shelter for visitors.

You can combine time travel with horseback riding at the Trilobit ranch in the village of Čechy or with water relaxation at the sought-after thermal swimming pool Podhájska. In the winter season, you can enjoy perfect skiing at the Čechy Pallag resort. The offer of trip options and attractions here is truly diverse. Similarly varied is the offer of accommodation in the vicinity of Dom ľudového bývania Veľké Lovce. We recommend using the sought-after accommodation in Podhájska, from where diverse experiences will be just a stone's throw away.

Nádvorie Európy is an original urban planning project located in Southern Slovakia, in Komárno. The town center literally glows with colors and shapes. It entices all your senses, and you do not know where to look first. It is a mix of architecture, building styles, and history of specific European countries. Would you like to get to know Europe but are afraid of flying, feel cramped in a car, and long train journeys cause you panic? Then come to Komárno; here you have Europe in the palm of your hand.

The foundation stone was laid in February 1999. On an area of 6,500 m2, you will find more than 40 buildings here that represent individual countries of the Old Continent. Various colors, shapes, and sizes of windows, towers and turrets, bay windows as well as diverse staircases, fountains, and greenery in places. Buildings of Wales, Transylvania, the Vatican, Iceland, or Greenland next to each other. Not far from them are statues of patrons and monarchs Matej Korvín, Mária Terézia, Ľudovít Veľký z Anjou, or Žigmund Luxemburský. Does it seem like a rather wild mix to you? On first hear, it certainly is. However, this place will completely charm you on your very first visit.

Walk across the paved square, have a coffee in front of one of the local cafés, or sit on a bench by the Milénium fountain. Let the children run around and enjoy the atmosphere of the place to the fullest. What might seem disturbing and incompatible to you at first glance will after a while feel like a perfect interplay of details of individual styles that represent almost all European countries.

This architectural masterpiece also carries a strong message. It points out that even though every country is different, we are close to each other. Even though we have different opinions, we share the same values. We want to be united without losing our uniqueness in the process. We are all destined to cooperate with each other, strengthen cohesion, and focus on the same goals.

Come and enjoy the unique view of the one-of-a-kind Nádvorie Európy. Both young and old will like it here, and artistic souls will gather inspiration for their work in the courtyard. Let yourself be captivated by the atmosphere and enjoy sweet doing-nothing while sitting on the benches. Watch the buildings, the people, and perceive your surroundings as you do so. It will charge you with a special energy from which you will draw for a long time after returning home. Set aside at least a few days for your visit. It is best to find stylish accommodation near Nádvorie Európy and start every morning with fragrant coffee and fresh pastries from a local bakery.
